Huddling under a rotted eave
is the only protest I will offer.
If you send schoolchildren to the graveyard
in search of shelter,
I will not judge you.
Take this crumpled photograph of my love
and smudge it as you will. Or leave it be,
let it soak in the mist of your departure
and leave it to the wind
to bring to my doorstep.
